Method Detail

isAssociationType

public boolean isAssociationType()

Description copied from interface: Type

Return true if the implementation is castable to AssociationType. This does not necessarily imply that the type actually represents an association. Essentially a polymorphic version of (type instanceof AssociationType.class)

Specified by:

isAssociationType in interface Type

Returns:

True if this type is also an AssociationType implementor; false otherwise.

isCollectionType

public boolean isCollectionType()

Description copied from interface: Type

Return true if the implementation is castable to CollectionType. Essentially a polymorphic version of (type instanceof CollectionType.class)

A CollectionType is additionally an AssociationType; so if this method returns true, Type.isAssociationType() should also return true.

Specified by:

isCollectionType in interface Type

Returns:

True if this type is also an CollectionType implementor; false otherwise.

isComponentType

public boolean isComponentType()

Description copied from interface: Type

Return true if the implementation is castable to CompositeType. Essentially a polymorphic version of (type instanceof CompositeType.class). A component type may own collections or associations and hence must provide certain extra functionality.

Specified by:

isComponentType in interface Type

Returns:

True if this type is also an CompositeType implementor; false otherwise.

isEntityType

public boolean isEntityType()

Description copied from interface: Type

Return true if the implementation is castable to EntityType. Essentially a polymorphic version of (type instanceof EntityType.class).

An EntityType is additionally an AssociationType; so if this method returns true, Type.isAssociationType() should also return true.

Specified by:

isEntityType in interface Type

Returns:

True if this type is also an EntityType implementor; false otherwise.

isXMLElement

public boolean isXMLElement()

Specified by:

isXMLElement in interface Type

compare

                           SessionImplementor session,
                           java.lang.Object owner)

isModified

public boolean isModified(java.lang.Object old,
                 java.lang.Object current,
                 boolean[] checkable,
                 SessionImplementor session)
                   throws HibernateException

Description copied from interface: Type

Has the value been modified compared to the current database state? The difference between this and the Type.isDirty(java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object, org.hibernate.engine.SessionImplementor) methods is that here we need to account for "partially" built values. This is really only an issue with association types. For most type implementations it is enough to simply delegate to Type.isDirty(java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object, org.hibernate.engine.SessionImplementor) here/

Specified by:

isModified in interface Type

Parameters:

old - the database state, in a "hydrated" form, with identifiers unresolved

current - the current state of the object

checkable - which columns are actually updatable

session - The session from which the request originated.

Returns:

true if the field has been modified

Throws:

HibernateException - A problem occurred performing the checking

isSame

public boolean isSame(java.lang.Object x,
             java.lang.Object y,
             EntityMode entityMode)
               throws HibernateException

Description copied from interface: Type

Compare two instances of the class mapped by this type for persistence "equality" (equality of persistent state) taking a shortcut for entity references.

For most types this should equate to #equals check on the values. For associations the implication is a bit different. For most types it is conceivable to simply delegate to Type.isEqual(java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object, org.hibernate.EntityMode)

Specified by:

isSame in interface Type

Parameters:

x - The first value

y - The second value

entityMode - The entity mode of the values.

Returns:

True if there are considered the same (see discussion above).

Throws:

HibernateException - A problem occurred performing the comparison

isEqual

public boolean isEqual(java.lang.Object x,
              java.lang.Object y,
              EntityMode entityMode)

Description copied from interface: Type

Compare two instances of the class mapped by this type for persistence "equality" (equality of persistent state).

This should always equate to some form of comparison of the value's internal state. As an example, for something like a date the comparison should be based on its internal "time" state based on the specific portion it is meant to represent (timestamp, date, time).

Specified by:

isEqual in interface Type

Parameters:

x - The first value

y - The second value

entityMode - The entity mode of the values.

Returns:

True if there are considered equal (see discussion above).

getHashCode

public int getHashCode(java.lang.Object x,
              EntityMode entityMode)

Description copied from interface: Type

Get a hash code, consistent with persistence "equality". Again for most types the normal usage is to delegate to the value's #hashCode.

Specified by:

getHashCode in interface Type

Parameters:

x - The value for which to retrieve a hash code

entityMode - The entity mode of the value.

Returns:

The hash code

isEqual

public boolean isEqual(java.lang.Object x,
              java.lang.Object y,
              EntityMode entityMode,
              SessionFactoryImplementor factory)

Description copied from interface: Type

Compare two instances of the class mapped by this type for persistence "equality" (equality of persistent state).

This should always equate to some form of comparison of the value's internal state. As an example, for something like a date the comparison should be based on its internal "time" state based on the specific portion it is meant to represent (timestamp, date, time).

Specified by:

isEqual in interface Type

Parameters:

x - The first value

y - The second value

entityMode - The entity mode of the values.

factory - The session factory

Returns:

True if there are considered equal (see discussion above).

getHashCode

public int getHashCode(java.lang.Object x,
              EntityMode entityMode,
              SessionFactoryImplementor factory)

Description copied from interface: Type

Get a hash code, consistent with persistence "equality". Again for most types the normal usage is to delegate to the value's #hashCode.

Specified by:

getHashCode in interface Type

Parameters:

x - The value for which to retrieve a hash code

entityMode - The entity mode of the value.

factory - The session factory

Returns:

The hash code

replaceNode

protected static void replaceNode(org.dom4j.Node container,
               org.dom4j.Element value)

getSemiResolvedType

public Type getSemiResolvedType(SessionFactoryImplementor factory)

Description copied from interface: Type

Get the type of a semi-resolved value.

Specified by:

getSemiResolvedType in interface Type

replace

public java.lang.Object replace(java.lang.Object original,
                       java.lang.Object target,
                       SessionImplementor session,
                       java.lang.Object owner,
                       java.util.Map copyCache,
                       ForeignKeyDirection foreignKeyDirection)
                         throws HibernateException

Description copied from interface: Type

During merge, replace the existing (target) value in the entity we are merging to with a new (original) value from the detached entity we are merging. For immutable objects, or null values, it is safe to simply return the first parameter. For mutable objects, it is safe to return a copy of the first parameter. For objects with component values, it might make sense to recursively replace component values.

Specified by:

replace in interface Type

Parameters:

original - the value from the detached entity being merged

target - the value in the managed entity

Returns:

the value to be merged

Throws:

HibernateException

beforeAssemble
